Lua Lua Upset will he leave Pompey
Lua Lua story
Another story
Portsmouth 2 Watford 1
Well this the second game in 7 days at home and I really believed that we would get 3 points today, as it was we did but is was not easy.
Having Mum staying over we headed out to
After the café we set of for the pub, I haven’t been to this pub for about 8 odd years not changed that much, we got a table in front of the telly with a drink or two and watched
The game against Watford was hard, Watford like to pull shirts, time waste and hoof the ball up up up in the air its lots of long balls. A team as a hole they are ok but no quality so they play the war they can with the resources they have at there disposal.
We conceded a goal from a corner on the right, DeMerit powered home a header from the edge of the six-yard box after Pompey goalkeeper James had come for a ball he was never going to get, but Kanu ensured the home side went in all square at the break with a clever finish on 44 minutes. So it looked like a draw was on the cards as I expected
So it’s

I got this of a Pompey message bord
Heard today in the pub from a mate who doesn't normally spout
bullshit. He's got it from two different sauces, that, B & Q in
Fratton is losing money by the bucket load, and B & Q are looking to
move out. It would seem that the council are keen to see the stadium
close to a rail link and have no objections to the larger stadium
here, because the stadium could have its own rail access...apparently
loads of analysis and dicsussions have already taken place... this is
the reason why Sacha has bought the Chemring site and supposedly got
interim permission for a ticket office come superstore. The only
niggle is that Pompey want to use FP's site for parking and the
council aren't too keen.
So more rumours about the stadium, I would like to see it stay in Fratton but we just need a new one soon.
Portsmouth 1 Fulham 1
Well of to Gunwharf Quays for a meal before the game, so I met Mum under the
So to the game, well I have never seen Pompey have so much domination and not win. I have to give it to Fulham (who have not won against us since we got promoted) they played well, but for a team of that quality and us at home we should of won it easily. The only difference between the two sides was Antti Niemi Fulham’s goalkeeper he did some fantastic saves and some poor finishing from Kanu and co.
One might have guessed that Pompey would enjoy a bit of luck after they had marked Armistice Day with the presentation before the game of three survivors from the D-Day Normandy landings, but when Knight put one in on 57 mins after we had been top dog on the pitch and hit the post and bar I said that we would regret those misses. That was until Cole came on to score at 74 mins on his backside to give us a point. So 2 points dropped but we have 20 points in the bag this side of Christmas which is nice. By the way I got home late because I forgot where I parked the car silly me.
Pompeygary’s Man of the match Antti Niemi the ex scummer kept us out!!!
Pompeygary’s Worst Man Stefanovic is looking a bit slow now.

Should we stay or should we go?
Is this real or fake from the net? will Fratton Park be like this in the future.
Will Pompey move from Fratton to a new site? This is lifted from Pompey-fans.co.uk
pompey-fans.com staff
Pompey seem to be in the process of narrowing down their options for a new stadium, with a 40,000 capacity ‘ to turn Pompey into a top six club’ the minimum requirement. The current favourite is still reportedly the King George V playing fields at Cosham...
According to The News Chief Executive Peter Storrie hinted that the King George V plan – despite its inherent problems of a restrictive covenant on the use of the site and rampant NIMBY-ism – is the preferred option at a meeting of the Portsmouth Environmental Forum this week.
'We have new owners who have invested a lot of money in the club and have aspirations about putting it in the top six of the Premier League, which means the club needs a stadium which can host European football,' he said.
'To do this we need a 40,000-seat stadium, not the 35,000 we are limited to on the current site. We have even spoken to the council about the opportunity of bringing internationals here and World Cup football should England get it in 2018, which is all very exciting.'
However, Storrie maintained his preferred option was to stay at Fratton Park and he only said on the record that the King George site ‘had been considered in detail’ proposing to replace lost playing fields by buying some of the current IBM site at North Harbour.
Fratton Park remains an option, as does Tipner, although Farlington has been ruled out, to the relief of many fans given the fact it wasted 18 months back in 1993-94 when a planning inquiry finally turned the site down on the basis that it disrupted the habitats of migrating Brent geese nearby, among other things.
Tantalisingly another option has also been suggested, although its location hasn’t been revealed, other than it is close to one of the three existing road routes into the city. A cursory glance at the Portsmouth map suggests there are few open spaces currently large enough to accommodate such a development.
One obvious candidate would be the playing fields and allotments around Great Salterns playing fields – given its proximity to the Eastern Road – or, alternatively, the Fratton Goods Yard site, with some judicious re-location of some existing businesses could potentially provide the space the club craves.
The club plans to have a short-list of two by Christmas, but seeing as this project is now entering its 34th year – former Chairman John Deacon wanted to relocate the club to the old airport site in 1973 – fans won’t be holding their breath for an early conclusion...

Havant Lions been to Fratton
Havant @ Waterlooville my local non-league team have drawn a league team in the first round of the FA Cup and tht team is Millwall at home. So even with a good stadium the old bill have said they will have to play the game at Fratton Park, not that Havant's ground is no good it's outside the ground the truble could start with those lovely Millwall boys. So the game will be on Monday the 13th 7.45 at Fratton Park I my just go come on you Hawks.
That Old Red Devil
Well it's time to play Manchester United. As a rule we don't win at Manchester but this is our best chance to get something as I think this is our strongest side ever. Every year I use this game as a guide to see how far we have come every year. I like Manchester United I don't hate them like a lot of football fans do, it's just those little kids who run around with Man U tops on ( Now being replaced by Chelsea tops lately ) that hack me of but I will go into what I hate in football on a later post. So play up pompey pompey play up!!!!!!!
